Look through crabmeat to make sure there are no shells; reserve in refrigerator. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

Put the oil into a large skillet placed over medium heat. Cook chopped vegetables with salt and pepper until soft, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and reserve in a large mixing bowl.
Once vegetables have cooled slightly, add the crab, eggs, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, Old Bay, Dijon and a dash or two of hot sauce if using to the mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly but carefully, so not to break up the crab too much. Form mixture into
Place on prepared baking sheet and bake until crabcakes are evenly golden, about 15 to 20 minutes.
